>>7288851>a guide to TolkienSo, uh, The Hobbit, then The Lord of the Rings, then the Silmarillion, then stuff like Children of Hurin (his best work by the way!) and Lost Stories of Middle-Earth (or whatever that series is called)? And then maybe Farmer Gales of Ham and that stuff he wrote about Beowulf?
What would that book be about? Linking his fantasy writing with biographical data? That would seem kinda unnecessary I think. I mean, I get that a book like that exists, but I am a bit confused what it would actually add if I just read all of Tolkien.
Sorry for the rambling.
I think my reading list would be (I am at work currently so can't take a photo):
>The Idiot (100 pages in)>Demons>War and Peace>Lord of the Flies>100 Years of Solitude>Doktor Faustus>a poetry collection by Berthold BrechtThrow in some other, smaller works by Dostojewski and Tolstoi, my grandma had a lot of them and I can't remember them all from the top of my head. (Sadly neither Sin and Punishment nor Anna Karenina is among them.) They spent the last ten years on the attic of my parents until I dug them out, and now I've got some german translations printed in the late 50s.
The other works are just stuff I randomly bought over the last few months that I found somewhere cheap but never got around to reading.
